Moscow hosts fair housing training
Cougar Country will be open for limited hours over next two weeks By Jakob Thorington Evergreen reporter
Cougar Country temporarily reopened Wednesday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Laura Yasinitsky, Cougar Country manager, said the drivein will be opening for limited hours over the next two weeks. “We want to get off to a slow and soft start to make sure everyone is trained and ready to go when we officially reopen,” she said. The drive-in is keeping its temporary openings secretive, she said. Updates will be posted on social media when it temporarily opens until it becomes official. To celebrate National Cheeseburger Day, the drivein temporarily re-opened Wednesday and produced cheeseburgers for WSU housing at a private event, Yasinitsky said.

he city of Moscow worked with the Intermountain Fair Housing Council (IFHC) to host a fair housing training event for
landlords and tenants on Sept. 18 at the 1912 Center. The event provided information regarding tenant screenings, fair housing basics, protecting against discrimination, developing non-discriminatory rules and dealing with overt discrimination. Eric Steven, attorney at law, said landlords should not be biased while assessing or looking through applications. He said landlords should not
be speculative or hypothetical while screening applicants. Ken Nagy, attorney for IFHC, said the council is required under its grant to hold training all over the state for housing providers. IFHC has done the training for decades since its inception, he said. Steven spoke about necessary steps landlords need to take during tenant screenings like ensuring they don’t See Housing Page 8
Mike Wagoner drive-in owner
Mike Wagoner, Cougar Country co-owner, said his family moved to Pullman three years after the business opened and has given him great memories with his family since then. He said one person during a friends and family event last night started bawling because it was the first time they ordered at the restaurant without their dad who had passed away. “I’m looking forward to hearing memories and making new ones,” Wagoner said. The menu items will all still use the same recipes, Wagoner said. The burgers will be slightly different as they will now be made with 100 percent all-Angus beef, which is a higher quality product than what was previously used, he said. “A foodie last night gushed about the fry sauce last night because it was just like they remembered it,” he said. Wagoner and his co-owner Terry Wagoner bought the business in July. The restaurant closed last February. Wednesday marks the first re-opening of the business in just over seven months. Cougar Country is located on 760 N. Grand Ave in Pullman.

Locals not allowed on research track ‘No trespassing,’ ‘No pets allowed’ signs are posted around facility By Jayce Carral Evergreen reporter
Pullman residents continue to trespass on the WSU Hitchcock Research Track, despite off-limit signs. Charlie Powell, senior public information officer for the College of Veterinary Medicine, said the research track is the only full-size horse racing track on a university campus in the nation. “It’s used to conduct equine metabolic research and physiological research with horses,” he said. “It’s used for racing horses around the tracks.” Steve Hansen, WSU assistant chief of police, said the research track has restricted access, meaning only authorized personnel are allowed on the grounds. Powell said the research track is closed off to the public for safety reasons. The presence of people and dogs can upset the horses and other animals kept on the facility. “These are retired racehorses that are here,” he said. “Those animals MORGAN YOUNG | THE DAILY EVERGREEN don’t do well when other people A sign reads “Restricted Area, Authorized Personal Only, DO NOT ENTER” treat this track like it’s their private

ASWSU addresses abortion demonstration Senate discusses choice to not make preparatory statement to students By Jakob Thorington Evergreen reporter

The ASWSU President addressed the abortion demonstration that happened Monday and Tuesday during the ASWSU senate meeting on Wednesday. President Quinton Berkompas testified to the senate and discussed university administration and ASWSU’s motivation to not inform students the demonstration was happening. “The group went through the legal hoops they had to jump through,” he said. “They’ve sued multiple universities in the past that restricted it.” Administration and the university’s committee response team knew about the demonstration for weeks prior and made the decision to allow it on-campus, Berkompas said. Linda Vargas, a member of the response team and an all-campus senator, said the response team is made up of staff and students across the university. “If the university restricted it, they would’ve lost the lawsuit,” Berkompas said. “It would’ve been our tuition money going to that organization.” He said they didn’t know exactly what the demonstration would include and were caught by surprise from how graphic it was. “Sometimes they come out with picket signs, sometimes they come out with 9x14 signs. You never really know what they’re going to do,” Berkompas said. College of Arts and Sciences senator Connor Simmons said he felt the ratio of students in favor of the demonstration to those against it was disproportional. “Because the student body was not informed, there was no way to organize a peaceful counterprotest,” Simmons said. Berkompas said the response team and administration felt that
that was being waived by university scholarships every year. WSU scholarships include fee waivers which means some students do not pay Service and Activities fees, he said. This means the S&A committee doesn’t collect money from them. “Administration made the decision to waive fees without telling students,” Berkompas said. “They agreed this was a problem.” He said he hopes to work with the university to ensure that the scholarships waive money from tuition rather than S&A fees.
Apartment project to aid with affordable housing Complex estimated at $12 million will provide lower price point By Loren Negron Evergreen reporter
A $12 million project to develop a 56-unit apartment complex on Bypass Drive will open in late 2020 to provide affordable housing in the Pullman area. The complex is a low-income housing tax credit property, said Jeff Guyett, Community Action Center executive director. That means investors will be incentivized to help fund the project. In turn, they will receive “a dollar-for-dollar reduction in their federal tax liability in exchange for providing financing to develop affordable rental housing,” according to Novogradac & Company LLP. A 9 percent tax credit will be granted to the project’s investors. The CAC received $800,000 from the Washington State Housing Trust Fund in 2018. They also have a construction loan from Banner Bank, Guyett said. The CAC has been collaborating with Cascade Affordable Housing and R4 Capital, which
are groups focused on affordable housing, he said. Guyett said the complex’s residents will not pay more than 30 percent of their income toward housing. There will be 28 units set aside for those making less than 30 percent of the median income and 27 units for those making less than 50 percent. Other target groups include homeless families, veterans and people with disabilities, Guyett said. The apartment’s location will enable residents more access to services including the nearby Pullman Regional Hospital, Walmart, Safeway and the Pullman Village Centre Cinemas, Guyett said. Residents will receive free case management services, he said. A case manager will work with families or individuals and help them set financial goals or find services such as legal aid, skill training and educational opportunities. “We help them to set their own goals, and then we help them try to find the resources to achieve those along the way,” Guyett said. The CAC will also build partnerships that will benefit resi-

Women’s golf has best finish in Cougar Cup Sophomore Darcy Habgood shoots a ll three rounds under par By Shayne Taylor Evergreen reporter
WSU women’s golf finished the WSU Cougar Cup tournament with its best finish in the nine-year history of the tournament on Tuesday at the Palouse Ridge Golf Course. However, it was Oregon State University who walked away with the tournament victory of 844 (-20). WSU placed fifth with a final score of 863 (-1). Topperforming Cougars from the tournament were sophomore Darcy Habgood and senior Marie Lund-Hansen, both finishing in fifth place with a final score of 211 (-5). Habgood became the first Cougar since Lund-Hansen in 2017 to shoot all three rounds under par. Despite the rain, LundHansen led all Cougars on the first day of the tournament with a score of 139 (-5) and was in a tie for third place overall. “For me these were perfe ct co n d i t i o n s , ” L un d JACOB BERTRAM | DAILY EVERGREEN FILE Hansen said.

he WSU Cougars soccer team will play the University of Hawai’i and Pepperdine in the Rainbow Wahine Shootout starting Thursday in Honolulu, Hawaii. No. 24 WSU (5-1-0) dropped 11 spots after the University of Michigan defeated them last weekend. “I think when we gave up that one goal, heads started to drop so I just try to tell people to pick their head up and just staying positive,” said junior forward Elyse Bennett. The games against Hawai’i and Pepperdine are the last two matches before WSU heads into Pac-12 play. Bennett said she is looking forward to heading to the islands this weekend but understands that it is for soccer. “It will be a good trip for us, and I think it will be a good test,” Bennett said. The Cougars will face the University of Hawai’i (2-4-1) first. Since 1995, WSU has a 5-0-0 against the team. The last time the teams played each other was 2014, and WSU won 3-1. Hawai’i is on a two-game losing streak. They will also play the Pepperdine Waves (3-3-1), which recently ended their three-game losing streak with an upset 1-0 win against No. 2 Stanford,
despite being outshot 22-3. The Waves are on a two-game winning streak. WSU last played Pepperdine in 2014, which ended with a 0-0 tie. They are 2-2-1 all-time against the Waves. This will be the third time the two teams have played in Hawaii. Head coach Todd Shulenberger said he is looking to improve the team’s possession before heading into the Pac-12 part of the season. “We want to get two wins going into conference play. Non-conference is tough, but we have played a wide variety so far,” Shulenberger said. The Cougars have scored 20 goals in the last six games and have averaged 3.33 goals per game. WSU has allowed their opponents to score six goals this season and 44 shots with 17 being on goal. Offensively, Bennett said her team hopes and plans to score more goals heading into this weekend. They started the season strong but knew it wasn’t realistic in Pac-12 play to score five or more goals per game, she said. “So just putting one or two away in games will probably be enough and having our defense keep doing what they’re doing,” Bennett said. The Cougars will play Hawai’i at 10 p.m. Thursday at the Waipio Peninsula Soccer Complex. WSU plays Pepperdine at 4 p.m. Sunday.

has been key for starting the season well. “Golf is all about confidence, and the work that you put in overtime can really pay off,” Kamimura said. One key going into the match was to have players focus mainly on what they can control, she said. “They did awesome at that,” Kamimura said. “Even at times when their energy was down, they were able to rally.” During her press conference on Tuesday, Kamimura said she was happy with how her players stayed focused and how this was their “first stop on the road to rich.” “We stuck to our game plan and focused on what was controllable,” Kamimura said during her press conference. “They fought until the end and it was a solid start to the season.” Oregon placed second at 852 (-12). Denver and Washington tied for third at 854 (-10). WSU’s next match will be right up the road on Monday and Tuesday for the CDA Resort Collegiate Invitational in Coeur D’Alene, Idaho, as the Cougars look to continue their momentum after their record-setting performance in the WSU Cougar Cup.

Club hosts Autumn pumpkin patch Fall festival has apple cider, pumpkin carving at student farm in October By Rachel Koch Evergreen reporter
A student farm at the University of Idaho brings together fans of an upcoming autumn season for a pumpkin patch and fall festival. The Soil Stewards Farm is mostly run by the students, who decide what gets planted, with guidance and facilitation from farm manager Alison Detjens and another UI faculty member. Detjens said there are several different groups of students involved in planting and maintaining the crops grown on the Soil Stewards Farm, such as those doing it as part of a class, those in the farm’s workstudy program and those in the Soil
Stewards Student Club. “The student club is the main driver,” Detjens said. “We have students from all different backgrounds out here learning how to farm.” Camilla Ditton, Soil Stewards Student Club member, is a sophomore agriculture major at UI who joined the club last year. Ditton joined the farm to enhance her experience within her major, she said. She added that she stayed with the club because she liked the closeness she felt with the other members. “I think it’s one of the most wellrounded clubs that I’ve ever been a part of,” she said. “It’s been a great opportunity to interact with the community and get connected with the Palouse as a whole.” Next month, the Soil Stewards Farm will host its first Fall Festival in several years, Detjens said.
The Soil Stewards Fall Festival will have a pumpkin patch grown entirely by the students who worked on the farm, a pumpkin carving station, fall-related games and an apple cider vendor. Ditton said admission will likely be around $5 for non-UI students. People will also have to buy the apple cider, but final prices are not set. A certified-organic apple orchard located in Sandpoint, Idaho, that UI purchased will provide and sell the cider, Detjens said. “They have dozens of heirloom varieties of apples, very rare apples, so I’m excited to have them out here,” she said. Detjens added that the pumpkin carving is mostly for students living in the dorms who want to participate in the festival’s activities of this season, such as carving jack-o’-
lanterns, but lack the space to do so. The Soil Stewards Fall Festival is for anyone who loves fall and wants to celebrate the season but does not want to attend a largescale festival, Ditton said. “You just get a down-to-earth … pumpkin patch without all of the hustle and bustle,” she said. Overall, the Soil Stewards Farm is a celebration of the changing season and all the festivities that come along with it, Detjens said. “We want to celebrate everything fall,” Detjens said. “Halloween, pumpkins, potatoes, onions, like a fall harvest.” The Soil Stewards Fall Festival will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 19 at the Soil Stewards Farm, which is located on Farm Road in Moscow past WinCo Foods.
Students discuss sexual assault prevention University of Idaho Women’s Center hosts a ‘Take Back the Night’ march to raise awareness for victims By Sydney Brown Evergreen reporter
The Women’s Center at the University of Idaho is preparing to host its first Take Back the Night march on Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. starting at the school’s women’s center in Moscow. The first 100 attendees will receive a free t-shirt, and doors will open at 7 p.m. Anyone and everyone is welcome to attend this free community walk, said Bekah MillerMacPhee, the grant project director at the Women’s Center. MillerMacPhee said she oversees the
use of a federal grant that allows them to host events like this one. This year, the march will have students organizing and introducing the event, and Miller said it was an active decision to take a backseat as a university program. “Ultimately, we’re trying to serve our students, so we need to hear regularly from them,” MillerMacPhee said. Take Back the Night hopes to give voices to survivors. The event will start with three spoken-word poets, all students, before the event attendees proceed through the streets of Moscow,

where they will pass by the site of Katy Benoit’s memorial bench. Benoit was a 22-year-old University of Idaho student gunned down on her front porch in Moscow by a UI professor at the time, according to an article from NBC News. She had stepped out for a few minutes, taking a break from baking with her friends to light a cigarette, when the man shot her. The story of Benoit especially resonated with Lupita Corona, third-year medical sciences and psychology double major. Corona started working at the Women’s Center almost right away her freshman year because of Benoit’s story as well as her own experiences as a Latinx woman in rural Idaho.
Corona was born in Mexico and moved to a small town at a very young age. Though her grandmother passed away early in Corona’s life, her mother told her about some of the abuse her grandmother had experienced at the hand of Corona’s grandfather. This is an example of a larger cultural issue, Corona said. Her own grandmother would deny that the man she had married was a “bad guy” or that he would ever engage in abusive behavior. For Corona’s grandmother, separation would be worse on the family than living with the abuse. “[Victims of domestic violence] think they need a man in order to survive,” Corona said.

A ssault | Continued from Page 6 Corona maintains that she experienced a wonderful childhood with amazing parents, and said this disconnect can often lead to people not believing that the men in their lives can perpetuate abuse. “It comes back to the patriarchy,” Corona said. “We always question the victim, not the abuser.” Following the march, attendees will have a chance to hear from an advocate from Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse, MillerMacPhee said. This “speak out” part of the march will facilitate a free discussion of issues of sexual assault, misconduct and harassment, as well as issues of feminism in
general. Many in the community widely support and accept what the Women’s Center hopes to accomplish with this march, MillerMacPhee said. “When we’re asked why this is important -- as long as our students want us to keep doing it, we’re going to keep doing it,” MillerMacPhee said, which is why she wants students sharing their voices more than staff.

Student takes initiative for education By Emma Epperly The Spokesman-Review
As a child Jordan Stevenson was an overachiever. She competed in speech and debate in high school, graduated with honors and loved to volunteer. Then, just weeks before she finished high school, she found out her parents were not going to help her pay for college. “It was completely unexpected,” Stevenson said. “It didn’t occur to anyone in the whole sphere of my life.” Three years later Stevenson, 21, is a senior at Eastern Washington University studying international affairs. She has traveled out of the country on prestigious scholarships, founded campus groups and completed numerous internships -- all in the pursuit of helping others. Stevenson’s interests may be varied but all focus on helping those less privileged. The road to college wasn’t easy though. After high school, Stevenson got a few jobs to save up for college. She worked over 60 hours most weeks. “I realized that I was feeling sorry for myself for not being able to get an education when there were millions of girls across the world who would never have access to it,” Stevenson said. “And all I had to do was work for it.” So Stevenson began volunteer-
ing for Planned Parenthood, an organization she felt connected to both as a woman and a sexual assault survivor. “I knew I had to do something else to make myself feel like the time I was spending on this earth was meaningful,” Stevenson said. That’s when she met her husband and nominator, Tynan. The pair met at the Vancouver pride parade and it was love at first sight, Stevenson said. The couple, who are both bisexual, moved quickly. Stevenson proposed while they were talking about college plans, and the couple got married a few days later. “It’s really a partnership,” Stevenson said. “He is such a supporter of me.” For Stevenson, working at Planned Parenthood hit close to home. “I know that Planned Parenthood does a ton of direct service providing health care to people when they can’t afford it,” she said. Shortly after the couple started dating, Stevenson suffered a miscarriage. The experience pushed her toward serving others and sharing her personal story. “When I was at my lowest points, I felt like my life was meaningless unless I was serving others,” Stevenson said. Stevenson and her husband decided that EWU would be a good fit for both of them and

may be a workaholic. “I just really feel like it’s my obligation but also my responsibility to serve,” Stevenson said. “That’s what drives me and that pursuit of justice and the call and it sounds really hokey but it’s true.” That push to serve has taken Stevenson to conferences around the U.S., where she proudly represents the Inland Northwest. When she attended the United Nation Commission on the Status of Women conference, Stevenson was one of the only women who actually lived in a rural area. It’s hard to empathize well with the difficulties faced by women and girls living in rural areas if you aren’t one of them, Stevenson said. Stevenson loves advocating for policy change at all levels of government, but one of her biggest accomplishments is the emergency contraceptives vending machine she lobbied for at EWU. It’s located in the gender neutral bathroom on the first floor of the student union building. Easy access to emergency contraceptives is something Stevenson hopes will help students without health care and reduce the number of students who drop out due to unplanned pregnancies. The vending machine was a personal intersection between her experiences with sexual assault and the health care policies she advocates for in the
U.S. and globally. When she attended a conference for her Planned Parenthood fellowship, she focused on global advocacy. “It was humbling to talk to women from around the world,” she said. The conference inspired her to continue advocating for health care rights at home and abroad. It also pushed her to streamline her goals. “We’re not trying to change individual people from being bigoted or discriminatory, because that seems a little futile,” Stevenson said. “We’re looking at changing laws and enacting widespread change at a government level.” Stevenson has one year of school left at EWU, and she doesn’t plan to slow down anytime soon. She hopes to go to graduate school in Washington, D.C., and eventually law school to study international and gender law. The one thing Stevenson hopes she never loses sight of is working to make the world a “more perfect” place. “I think that one of the things that I learned early on as an advocate is that using your story is the most effective way to advocate for legislation or for laws that matter to you and will make your life better -- make your community’s lives better,” she said.

transferred from WSU Vancouver in the winter of 2018. Moving across the state came with its own set of hiccups. “Oh, it was chaos. When we first moved, our lease did not start for the on-campus house for a month into the quarter,” Stevenson said. The couple ended up living in a motel until they could move into married student housing. “It was scary and not fun,” Stevenson said. That didn’t stop Stevenson from jumping into school and her new job as an office assistant in the School of Global Learning. “I have so many friends who had given me the advice to slow down first quarter,” Stevenson said. “ ‘Take it in, smell the roses, and try to have a normal semblance of traditional college life,’ but I knew right away that wasn’t going to happen.” She interned at the Human Rights Education Institute and Planned Parenthood Global among her other volunteering and student leader positions. In the fall of 2018, she researched political and electoral rights for the United Nations Development Program. That winter she received the prestigious Benjamin A. Gilman Award to study abroad in India this summer. The “short” version of her résumé is three pages long; Stevenson acknowledges that she

Guyett said the CAC has until Dec. 1, 2020 to have the apartments fully occupied and operational. CAC members plan to start leasing units by October 2020. They, along with investors, will be signing off the $12 million project on Sept. 25. Construction will begin 15 to 30 days after that. Kevin Gardes, Pullman Public Works director, said the city council has been supportive of the CAC’s projects. “The city council approved a cost-sharing agreement to help with some utility and street oversizing costs associated with the project,” he said. Gardes said the city council approved a minimum of $65,000 to help fund some of the off-site costs, such as developing water and sewer lines through TAYLOR OLSON | THE DAILY EVERGREEN the property.

Dog owners should keep their pets away from the track, Powell said. “We had a goat that was severely injured last year, because dogs were left running on the infield,” he said. “They chewed a [goat’s] neck and face up.” Powell said the goat went through extensive rehabilitation during its recovery from the wounds. “These are not backyard companion livestock,” he said.

Gardes said the public works department has been coordinating the street’s development with the CAC. The street will have five lanes, with a 100foot right of way. “It would be a major arterial bypass in the southeast quadrant of the city,” Gardes said. Guyett said the CAC has been working closely with the city of Pullman to ensure environmental and zoning concerns are being addressed. Critical areas like stream and bird habitats surround the complex. “We worked with [the city] to make sure our site was built, or is going to be built, accordingly to protect that,” he said. “I just think it’s healthier for us as a community to embrace all members of our community, whether their incomes are low or higher,” Guyett said. “It’s about making sure we’re not leaving people behind.”

conduct background checks further back than seven years. “I’m doing it because it is important for landlords to hear the law and to understand their duties relative to fair housing,” he said. The goal of the event is to increase awareness, and understanding of fair housing requirements is the goal, Steven said. Nagy said the IFHC’s purpose is to increase compliance with those discrimination laws so that people don’t have their rights violated. IFHC wants to make sure housing providers know what the laws surrounding fair housing are, and tenants should know what their rights are and how to file a complaint, he said.
“We’re seeing a lot of previously common violations for the Fair Housing Act that are decreasing in numbers,” Nagy said. “There are still violations happening, but landlords can avoid making those violations.” Compliance with the laws has been increasing in recent years as well as understanding the basic requirements of the law, he said. IFHC hosts about two fair housing training events in Moscow throughout the year. Nagy said the trainings typically occur in April. There will be another fair housing training event that will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 19 at the City Hall second floor conference room in Lewiston.
